The physical view adds a dimension of distance for wired and wireless devices. This is very useful for working out the placement of wireless devices.
Measuring a cable is as easy as placing the pointer on a cable in the physical view (as shown in the following screenshot):
Standard copper Ethernet cables can extend up to a length of 100 meters; let's test this with the physical view:
Create the same two PC topologies that we used previously (as shown in the following screenshot) but use the copper cable instead of the fiber one.
In the physical view, move both the PCs to the intercity by following the instructions in the previous section.
Navigate to the intercity and check the distance between them. If the distance is less than 100 meters, move them further apart, until the distance between them is more than 100 meters.
Now come back to the logical view and you'll find that the link status of both the PCs is red because the connection came down due...
